First of all, I am not in any way, shape or form defending Amber or her heinous comments, but there is a difference between her rant and the expulsion of the BBUK player. The BBUK player didn't just say the n-word, she called another houseguest the n-word. This was after they'd been specifically warned against it because of the racial tensions and problems in the previous season.

Amber doesn't seem upset, you think CBS would have said something to her by now if it were true.

What dog remarks? I sure hope no one is comparing dogs to anti semetic remarks. Now if Amber was evicted for her ignorant remarks I would think she/hg's should of been warned that these type of remarks could be grounds for evictions. Boy they had better evict for all the anti female remarks too.

My two cents: If CBS had made a statement (at this late hour of the day), it would be out there on numerous sites. If they'd given Fox News an exclusive, it would at least be updated on their website story. I vote hoax.

Ladytex.. That is not correct. The UK housemate was singing a rap song, with a black girl in the house who was her friend. She was not calling her the N word. She was not trying to be offensive or racist. But they still kicked her out. That is why I think people who think now that the media has picked up on this that CBS will not get rid of her, are probably in for a surprise. What benefit does CBS get from keeping her in the house? And yeah the UK house had a racial problem with their All-Star season before, and that fed into the feelings.. but that girls offense this season was nothing compared to what Amber has said.

I think what Amber did was worse than the UK player saying the N word. If you see it in context, the UK player was not saying it in some mean way.

Marksman -Please do not in any way imply that I am condoning her remarks. I am disgusted by it. I am against her removal because this country is veering towards a a censorship atomosphere that we have in the past fought to protect others from. People are fired for the things they say. That is not good in my opinion. I cut her a little slack because of ignorance. <> She can learn. My feelings? I despise what she said but will defend to the end her right to say it. ANd btw? I am Jewish. by ethinicity though I practice a different religion.

That's what I meant, Lurknomore. They would have updated their existing story to include this latest "statement" about evicting Amber. They're clearly getting a LOT of traffic off of this story today, and believe me, they'd want to update it to pull more people to it, if they had anything. I still vote hoax.

Please move the conversation back to the live feeds and keep any unfolding news (or speculation) about Amber's remarks in the appropriate thread. Thanks!

I also vote hoax, because the thread at Sucks, which started the part about CBS expelling Amber, had NO documentation or links to support it, and there isn't anything about it at Jokers, where they supposedly got the news to begin with. I could see it happening; but it hasn't yet.
